Immediate Management of Anaphylaxis
This one-day (6 hour) training is designed to equip first aiders and emergency first aiders with the specialist knowledge and practical skills needed to recognise and treat anaphylaxis quickly and effectively.
Anaphylaxis can occur suddenly and escalate rapidly – so being prepared is vital. This course ensures participants understand how to identify the signs of a severe allergic reaction, use adrenaline auto-injectors (such as EpiPens), and deliver appropriate care while waiting for emergency services to respond.
The training aligns with guidelines from the Resuscitation Council (UK) and is suitable for those in high-risk environments where anaphylactic reactions may occur. Successful completion gives participants a Level 3 certificate.
We offer the flexibility to conduct this in-person training for up to 12 people at your location or at our offices in Wiltshire.
For those looking for food allergy awareness, an online training course in Allergen Awareness is available.
